For several days, Zhou Yi sent people to search the surroundings, but they never found the hiding place of the Chen brothers.

With the help of Cao Miao and Cao Su, these Shanyue are not only more skilled in combat, but also have a great improvement in their hiding ability, which is obviously different from the Shanyue that Zhou Yi is familiar with.

This made Zhou Yi more and more anxious, and he suffered huge psychological pressure, and in just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

When Sun Luban arrived, he was startled when he saw Zhou Yi's appearance, and he couldn't say a word of cruel words that he couldn't say.

Zhou Yi pleaded guilty to Sun Luban, saying that his ability was limited and that he had unshirkable responsibility for the deterioration of the situation in Poyang, and had written to King Wu to excuse himself. Before the arrival of the edict of King Wu, he will listen to the order in front of Sun Luban's tent, in order to atone for his sins.

Sun Luban is a person who eats soft rather than hard, and seeing that Zhou Yi said so sincerely, it was not good to blame him anymore, so he turned to ask Zhou Yi what solution he had.

After Zhou Yi resigned, he proposed two plans for Sun Luban to choose.

The first is encirclement and suppression. Mobilize the soldiers of the three counties, cooperate with the troublesome soldiers to attack, sweep one mountain after another, and wipe out all the tribes of a certain size. At that time, the strong will be soldiers, and the weak will be tuntian, completely relieving their worries.

The first is negotiation. Send people to persuade Cao Miao and Cao Su to surrender, as long as they are willing to surrender, most of the threat of Shanyue will be gone, and they can return to the previous situation.

There are pros and cons to both options, and there is no absolute good or bad.

Lu Hong, who came with Sun Luban, understood what Zhou Yi meant. What are the two plans, in fact, there is only one plan, asking Sun Luban to deal with Cao Miao and not let him come out again. The implication is also very clear, these troubles are caused by Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban's failure to control Cao Miao. Whoever causes the trouble, who will solve it, don't bother others.

Lu Hong was very angry, but he didn't make it clear to Sun Luban. Sun Luban's temper is as fiery as Mrs. Sun's, but he doesn't have the same city government as Mrs. Sun. Once she finds out that Zhou Yi is playing this kind of careful thinking, she may have a seizure on the spot and directly hack Zhou Yi to death.

Zhou Yi is not a Sima Shi, so he can't do it casually.

After discussing with Sun Luban, Lu Hong suggested asking Zhou Yi where Cao Miao was first, and then contacting Cao Miao to see what the situation was.

Zhou Yi was embarrassed and could only tell Sun Luban. I don't know where they are, I've been looking for them for a few days, and I haven't seen a single shadow.

Before the words fell, Mrs. Sun's female guard came. Cao Miao was nearby and wanted to see Sun Luban.

Sun Luban was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to go out of the camp to greet him in person, but he was stopped by Lu Hong. Cao Miao's current identity is doubtful, and Sun Luban should not be too enthusiastic, especially in front of Zhou Yi. Otherwise, when the news reaches Wuchang, I don't know what it will say.

Sun Luban sent Lu Hong to pick up Cao Miao. It didn't take long for Cao Miao to take Ah Hu to Sun Luban.

Facing Sun Luban's hot gaze, Cao Miao smiled, gestured unharmed, and then looked at Zhou Yi who was sitting on the side.

In the past few days, he has seen Zhou Yi from a distance several times, but Zhou Yi has never seen him.

"Poyang is too shou Zhou Ziyu?"

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, then nodded, stroked the short beard under his chin, and said lightly: "Cao Jun has seen me?" ”

"Well, I've seen it a few times, and it's about three hundred steps lately."

Zhou Yi's face suddenly turned red. "You're nearby?"

"That's right, it's on this mountain." Cao Miao smiled: "Do you want to do it immediately and use force to level it out?" ”

Zhou Yi stared at Cao Miao, looking and looking. He did have that idea. I didn't have anything to do before, because I didn't know where the target was. Now that we know it, and with the help of the trouble-relieving camp, it shouldn't be difficult to sweep away the Chen brothers.

"Cao Jun has a different opinion?"

"Nope." Cao Miao smiled even brighter. "I just thought, Cao Su must be very welcome for you to do this, he wants to kill you for more than a day or two. It can even be said that the reason why he came to Poyang and stayed in Poyang and didn't leave was to kill you. ”

Lu Hong smiled heartily and was relieved.

Cao Miao said this well, and suddenly put all the responsibility on Zhou Yi. This is a personal vendetta, it is a matter between Zhou Yi and Cao Su, Zhou Yi is on his own territory, has superior forces, but he can't solve Cao Su, no matter how you say it, this is not a glorious thing.

Sure enough, in terms of eloquence, Cao Miao is still superior.

"Do you want me to draw you a road map?" Cao Miao said with a grin, further stimulating Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi felt a huge offense, and said in a cold voice: "If Cao Jun is willing to help, he can't ask for it." ”

Before the words fell, Cao Miao pulled a silk book from his sleeve and threw it to Zhou Yi. "Mingfu hurry up, if it's late, they may not be there."

Zhou Yi took the map, opened it and looked at it, looking suspicious.

The map was detailed, and even marked a few key locations, much more practical than he had imagined, and by no means perfunctory.

He vaguely guessed Cao Miao's intentions. Cao Miao must have promised the Chen brothers that he was here to negotiate and try to save their lives. If he leads his troops to attack, it is that he refuses to talk, not that Cao Miao does not work hard. In this way, the Chen brothers were afraid of death, so they could only fight back desperately.

If he can defeat Cao Su and the Chen brothers, then of course there is no problem. What if you can't?

As can be seen from this map, Cao Su was well prepared. As long as the Chen brothers support it, it is not a problem to hold on for a while.

After weighing it repeatedly, Zhou Yi handed over the map to Sun Luban, and praised sincerely: Cao Miao's map is really well drawn, and he is a talent.

Sun Luban was overjoyed in his heart and said to Cao Miao: "What about your suggestion? ”

Cao Miao bowed his hand. "Princess, Cao Su escorted the envoy Sima Shi and his wife to come, and the soldiers were not more than 100, and they had no ability to raise troops to make trouble. The reason why I got to this point is because of me. He wanted to take me back to Luoyang, but the princess sent someone to chase after him, and Zhou Fujun even raised swords, which made people panic. Now that the princess is in person, Cao Su knows that there is no hope of escape, so he can only give me freedom. I'm here now, does the princess still want to fight? ”

Seeing that Cao Miao was safe and sound, where did Sun Luban still have the heart to fight. Her goal has been achieved, and the trouble in Poyang should be solved by Zhou Yi herself. She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say that, so she could only ask Zhou Yi for advice seriously.

Zhou Yi secretly complained to himself, this Cao Miao was very cunning, and pushed the trouble back.

If he doesn't agree, he has to agree.

"Princess, the minister thinks that no matter what, the Wei people collude with the bandits and cannot afford not to fight. Moreover, this Cao Su is the son of the Wei general Cao Xiu, since he is bold enough to go deep into the hinterland of my Great Wu to cause chaos, how can he let it go? The minister is willing to lead the army to attack the mountain, behead Cao Su, and dedicate it to the princess. ”

Sun Luban looked at Cao Miao.

Cao Miao smiled and nodded. "Since that's the case, let's sit back and wait for the good news of the Ming Mansion. I hope the Ming Mansion can hurry up, I'm still waiting to rush back to the sea. ”

Zhou Yi gloomy, saluted Sun Luban, and turned out of the account.

Sun Luban shouted and pounced, hugging Cao Miao's neck, his eyes were like water, and his enthusiasm was like fire. "Did you miss me?"

"Yes. But I'm going to see Master Sima first. ”
